Nondisp fx of med condyle of r femr, 7thC

This code describes a break in the inner portion of the lower right thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal position. The fracture is open, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, and is classified as a severe open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). This code is used for the initial treatment of this injury.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting for the first time with a non-displaced medial condyle fracture of the right femur that has an associated open wound indicating a Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC injury. This would include initial surgical repair, debridement, or stabilization procedures.

• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the medial condyle and not another part of the femur.
• Verify documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the Gustilo-Anderson open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Ensure this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care would require a different encounter character.
